In the Wide, Wild World, written by Natalie Horseman, takes young readers on a gentle rhyming journey around the animal kingdom to celebrate the many different ways a family can look.
🐾 Families Come in All Shapes and Sizes
The world is filled with families of every kind—and this sweet story reminds children that there isn’t just one “right” way for a family to look.
Through colorful animal characters, readers meet families that may look quite different from one another. There are big families, little families, blended families, adoptive families, foster families, and families headed by two moms or two dads.
The animals may have different feathers, fur, stripes, spots, or shells, but they all have something important in common: They love one another. 💕
